I pledge to support the Jr. NBA Philosophy of teaching the fundamentals of basketball and using the sport to instill core character values. The pillars of the Jr. NBA presented by Under Armour include:

FUNdamentals – Teaching basic basketball skill development in a positive, encouraging and fun environment is rewarding for all involved

Hard Work – Emphasizing how to compete – with a focus on working hard and competing to the best of your ability – is more important than the outcome of games won and lost

Respect – Exhibiting a positive attitude toward players, coaches, parents, officials and teammates is how we honor the game and each other

Sportsmanship – Playing the right way, the Jr. NBA Way, is centered on fair, ethical and honest competition

Teamwork – Working together in a supportive manner for a common goal fosters positive social and personal development
